Important Considerations
Quality Impact:
- • Color reduction from millions to 256
- • Possible dithering artifacts

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my image quality be reduced?
Yes, GIF's 256-color limitation will reduce image quality for photographs and complex images. It works best for simple graphics, logos, and illustrations.
What happens to transparency in AVIF images?
Advanced alpha channel transparency from AVIF will be converted to basic on/off transparency in GIF. Semi-transparent pixels will become either fully transparent or opaque.
When should I use GIF instead of modern formats?
Use GIF when you need maximum compatibility with older systems, email clients, or when dealing with simple graphics that don't require many colors.
Can GIF files be smaller than AVIF?
For very simple graphics with few colors, GIF can sometimes be smaller. However, for most photographic content, AVIF will be much more efficient.
